How to Get my Husband to Open up

So, even though I am not a virgin, my husband has much more experience when it comes to sex than I do. There is an age difference, and he is older so I sometimes feel that I am not as experienced as his past partners. I have tried asking him if he has any fantasies or if there is something I can do to make the sex better for him or his favorite position, but he just tells me not to worry that he loves our sex life. So, I don't know whether to just leave it at that or if he just doesn't feel comfortable talking about it? The problem is I feel uncomfortable being on top because then I am wondering if he is enjoying it so most of the time he is on top. I don't want him to feel like he has to do all the work, but he has never complained and in all honesty I prefer it. We have been together for 2 years now and no complaints so any suggestions or comments. Thanks

 

This is only my second post and I feel a little awkward posting on here. I actually deleted the first one.

  • I would take him at his word.  Just tell him if he's ever unhappy or would like to try something different, he should let you know.  Make sure he understands that you want this to be a subject that either of you can be honest and open about.  Blessings to you!
  • Are you happy? Do you have desires, fantasies, interests, etc that you would like to talk to him about? You say you're worried he's not enjoying himself when you're on top...you shouldn't be stressing out during sex. Are you orgasming??? Ever? Can you alone? 

    In a different vein, are you comparing yourself to his past lovers and trying to measure up? That's a pathway to misery!  

  • Yes very happy in all aspects. And yes, I guess it is more of my insecurity that I need to work on than anything. Thanks for your thoughts.
